GENERAL PAINE SHOULD OWN THE CUP.

GENERAL PAINE SHOULD OWN THE CUP
To the Editor or The Tribune.
SIR: There seems to be strong feeling evciywhcre
and among all sorts and conditions Of men, that some
worthy testimonial should be- given To General Paine,
whereby his countrymen may express their apprec'
alton of his patriotism, generosity, courage and sports
manlike spirit. 1t Is generally the rule, whenever
cups offered for competition, that the winner Of
three consecutive contests becomes the permanent
possessor of the trophy. and why not in this easel
cup be made to represent the principle con-
tended for In the races for the "Amelicas CUP
which will be equally valuable to the winner, but
would like TO see the gnal in the POSSESSION OF the
man VINO has devoted his talents has time, ana his
money to its defence In such manner rs TO be above
all praise. / think Mr.. Bell right when Ae sad
that we hardly appreciated General Paine II 10 not

1t made known that the object was TO give to

/ would like to say further in regard 10 future

WHEAT.

LARGE ExPoRTs-PRoBABLE CONSUMPTION %.
THE YEAR.
To the Edftor or The Trtbuns
SIR: Exports OF wheat during the past quarter bav.
remarkably large in August larger than any ohsr
month for many years. ready explanation Is found In
the near exhaustion of foreign supplies which led to IN
usually large exports from this country prior TO thu
harvesting of foreign crops But the crops IN En-
rope coming into market and 1t IL probable that
the demand for American wheat may fall oil until ths
supplies OF home grown wheat in Great Britain and
France have been mainly distributed. Usually q similar
decline in the foreign demand at this season is By
untimely speculation in American markets, aud OF such
an advance in prices there are now somo signs
The satstcIan OF the Produce Exchange has Just puh
shed an estimate of the wheat crop by stfes based
upon the latest report Of the Agricultural Bureau The
YIELD AGO. 800 bushels is little smaller than has
been anticipated by some other authorities but 1t not
worth while just to insist upon corrections since
later report Of the Bureau is about DUE In any event.
the difference between the assumed and the yield
will probably not be material computation based
upon official figures of yield, exports and
population for twentyfour years past, iusiihes
the statement that the surplus brought over from
last year, in excess OF minimum supply always
ried equivalent to 48l26970 bushels at the least
From this supply there must be deducted an increasing
quantity for home consumption. The increase OF popr
lation over 100000 by other causes. and probably
over 10000 by Immigration this year. calls for an in
of bushels in the supply for human food
without increased allowance for seeding, TINS wond
bring up the home consumption to 333.cOO,OOO bushels
leaving about 900 bushels available for export

months last year. There are added the reported
exports from the principal Atlantic ports AMI the export,
from san Francisco IN September were eqlYi.ent
to about 1,473126 bushels Thus there appear
to have been out of the country during the nst
quarter OF the crop year about 494579i6 bushels lrav
ing less than 90 00O 300 bushels for export Tue foreign
demand during the remaining threequarters or the Last

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The opening
formalities of the National Drill took

corps, of this district, headed by the
Third (Regular) Artillery Band, marched
in and formed a hollow square. General
Augur and his staff entered the square
and stood with uncovered heads, while
the chaplain invoked Gods blessing upon
the camp, the officers and soldiers, peo-
pie and Government of the United States.
\ magnificent new flag was now drawn
To the masthead to the breeze. The
band saluted it with Star Spangled

and the surrounding crowd enthusiast

thus formally opened. Three general
orders which had been printed were
then promulgated.
The Light Infantry. of Chester, s. c.,
which arrived to-day, brought with
them the old Palmetto Flag that was

THE TURF.

CINCINNATI, May Gone of the finest
assemblies ever seen on the Latonia
course was present at the opening meet
ing, to-day. This is accounted for main
ly by the fact that the Latonia Derby
was to be won, and that Montrose, a
Cincinnati horse, was to contest for il
against Jim Gore.
First race, six furlongs, Mamie Hart
won; Gov. Roberts, second; Linda Payne,
third. Time: l:17.
Second race, seven furlongs, Malaria
won; Bowling, second; Brilliant, third.
Time: 81.
Third race, "A mile, Jacobin won; Es-
tella, second; Long Slipper, third. Time;
LAB.
Fourth race, five furlongs, Buck
Hound won; Balance, second, Santalene,
third. Time: 1.O4t.
The last and great event of the day,
Latonia Derby, was set for 5:l5 p. IN,
Five minutes after that hour the horses
were at the post. Montrose was, as a
matter of course, the favorite because he
is a Cincinnati horse and because he
won the Louisville Derby, but Jim Gore
had many friends. Poteen delayed the
start by all manner of vicious tricks. Al
last start was made with Poteen i'm the
lead, Montrose, second, Jim Gore, third
Libretto, fourth, and Bixby last. At the
third quarter, Lewis had put Montrose
i'm the lead as if it was his purpose to re-
peat his Louisville tactics. Jim Gore
pursued him closely with Poteen i'm the
third place and Libretto and Bixby in
their same order. Before the end of the
mile Jim Gore gained upon Montrose and
as they started upon the last half mile
thousands of shouts proclaimed Cores
victory. He passed Montrose, and the
favorite's colors went down, but Libretto
moved up with apparent ease and, a.
though without an effort, led down the
stretch with Jim Gore following and los
ing distance, though under punishment
Montrose was so bad third that he wa
not even whipped. Poteen and Bixby
struggled in at last. The stakes were
worth g. $50. Libretto, the winner, be

THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.

Three Reports on Union with the North
ern Branch.
ST. LOUIS, May 23.-In the Southern
Presbyterian Assembly this morning, the
Committee on Organic Union, co-opera-
tive union or other relations with the
Presby terian Church of the United
States, DIR. Smoot, of Texas, Chairman,
presented their reports. The committee
is composed of twenty-six members, six
teen of whom made a majority report,
nine a minority report, and one what he
called minimum minority report.
The majority report recommends the
appointment of a committee to be COM
posed of three ministers, five ruling ell
ders and a Moderator of the Assembly,
to confer with a similar committee from
the other assembly and consider the
whole subject, the committee to report
at the next General Assembly in May
next, this committee to be instructed to
take and maintain the following posi-
ton: Mere acceptance of the commit
tee on standards of our church's con-
fession of faith, the longer and
shorter catechism, does not in our
minds. form a sufficient basis of union,
but the acceptance of that peculiar in
depreciation of our standards which af-
firms and emphasizes the purely Scrip
tural nature of Christ's Kingdom and
forbids her legislating on political or
civil matters the only true basis of
union. and further we insist that the
colored brethren within our bounds
shall be organized into separate conge-
cations, presbyteries and synods.
DIR. Smoot read a minority report, and
Rev. w. III. Parks presented his mini
mum minority report which differed
from the majority report, chiefly in the
forms of expression.
The whole matter was postponed until
tomorrow as the special order of the
IaU
